Matrim Bloody Cauthon he/him Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I hate trying to figure out brandons and peters hints. you can never trust what they say. its worse than trying to figure out what calamity is. Edited April 29, 2014 by Matrim Bloody Cauthon 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Wow! Hahaha well they must be good at really annoying riddles
Matrim Bloody Cauthon he/him Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) definitely, it is horrible. I almost went to a Q&A session last week but at the last minute couldn't. but I figure I would have just gotten RAFO'd or given a really cryptic answer I wouldn't have understood for weeks.

I almost went to a Q&A session last week but at the last minute couldn't. but I figure I would have just gotten RAFO'd or given a really cryptic answer I wouldn't have understood for weeks. What does RAFO'd mean? Or is it just another one of his cryptic clues Edited April 30, 2014 by Elsa Steelheart
Delightful Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 RAFO stands for 'Read And Find Out' aka 'haha not telling'. Sometimes because it would be a spoiler for future books, sometimes I think just because he feels like it. 1
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Occasionally someone will get a PAFO, which means "Go ask Peter", or more accurately, "Get no helpful answer".
Delightful Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Aren't the PAFO's (though I've never actually heard that term before) usually mathy or sciency questions he doesn't know off the top of his head?
Awesomeness Summoned he/him Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 They often tend to be that way. Brandon relies on Peter a lot to work out technical details that might be needed sometime but haven't actually come up in the books yet. For instance, he might have Peter determine the relative amounts of stormlight that can be stored in various types of gemstones. Brandon won't have the info memorized but if someone asks about it he'll tell them to ask Peter who will have the info worked out somewhere.
Matrim Bloody Cauthon he/him Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 but peter doesn't like to share info that easily so asking peter is like asking Brandon. they wont tell you. 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 but peter doesn't like to share info that easily so asking peter is like asking Brandon. they wont tell you. That's kinda annoying, anyone else you can ask?
Swimmingly he/him Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Well, wiretapping, hacking, home invasion, and stalking are also methods to get good answers, but they're generally not encouraged. Unless an Admin gives you a licence, of course. Then you should be fine. 3
Matrim Bloody Cauthon he/him Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 yeah that's kind of frowned upon. I wouldn't suggest it. 1

GreyPilgrim he/him Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 The date for Firefight is January 6, 2015. Have you seen the cover for it yet? It was released last week. 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 The date for Firefight is January 6, 2015. Have you seen the cover for it yet? It was released last week. Yeah I saw the cover and the new cover for steelheart too! I can't wait to read it!! Cause I absolutly loved Steelheart. I really want to find out what it's about. I can't believe it's only coming out in such a long time!!
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 You can read the Firefight blurb here. Thanks!
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 This is, by far, the most active "new member" thread I've ever seen (and taken part in). Maybe it's because of Elsa's account name. Or maybe it's because we haven't had any prominent female new members for a long time. 1

GreyPilgrim he/him Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Elsa: Since a quick scan shows you haven't yet posted there, might I direct you to the Steelheart subforum? It is not the most active corner of the site, but it should serve all your Steelheart discussing needs! 1
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Hahha thanks are there actually more guys than girls?? Actually, there is. Go to the Home page and scroll down to the bottom. It'll tell you what members are or have been online. Randomly check them out. 4 out of 10 are male, and another 4 are not telling. Only 2 are female.

GreyPilgrim he/him Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Elsa: The mods do not allow double posting. They much prefer if you edit the original post. They don't want people to inflate their post counts. I only say this because you already were warned a couple times and I don't want you to anger the mods.
